The forecast was prepared by researchers from the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS) and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ISTP SB RAS). In their assessment, activity, which has remained elevated in recent days, may intensify to G1–G2—ranging from weak to moderate.
The calculation is model-based, so the actual strength and duration of the event may differ from the forecast.
